Mother (Winifred) Hubbard and her unfortunate dog Roosevelt

Mother (Winifred) Hubbard and her unfortunate dog Roosevelt





Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To give the poor dog a bone;
When she came there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none
.

Roosevelt and I are both unfortunate. He, because the cupboard was bare. I, because although I love competition, the State Fair is really no place for me and my work. 

I spoke to the most hate filled ladies at the State Fair, this morning about my submission. This is not my first tussle with these darlings; we square off at least once a year with regard to my wine submissions equally not to their liking for one numb skull reason of another. This time, they possess neither the time, nor manpower to carry my “Mother and THAT dog,” the lovely on the other end of the phone calls it, into another competition  three days later to which the rules say I am within full rights to do so.
I loved the theme of Mother Goose this year, who wouldn’t resist making jumping, flying leaping things, cats and dogs, cows and moons and candles sticks, the possibilities boundless and just the thing to jump start my summer time baked brain, stalled creativity….not really stalled just a bit sluggish and covered in construction dust so what else is new, for the Klintzes are always building something……


Here they are, Mother Hubbard (I called her Winfred) because I just so happen to have a gold pin perfect for the lace with that name Winifred on it!  Roosevelt?  same deal…woof…woof!

Crafty Peoples Fair, A Spring, Craft, Art and Trade Show

Well, they have decided to let Klintzfamily Bears in to this show. I'll be at this one day show in April with 10-or 12 bears and bunny (ALL SOLD OUT THANK YOU). I haven't decides where or if I want to sell my teddy bears. Both EBay and Etsy don't feel right for reasons I don't think I know or can put into words. I'm all but in visible on Zibbet which seems perfect, low stress, no inhibition anxiety and its mostly free.

I L-O-V-E crafts shows!! I love spending all day with those who create, love the networking, design tips, friendships, men who craft, classes (I've been to sewing, jewelry making class), selling parties, lunches, antiquing with crafting friends from shows. I love the creative trades and swaps the atmosphere all of it!! My card files are bursting, I see GREAT websites and blogs.  So here is one I'm a part of, you can find info on facebook by searching the title; crafty peoples fair.

Some of their claims with regard to population/traffic are outlandish...no one came last year so a presence of over 3000 in attendance that they quote is shineola. Thirty, all day is more like it. I tend to do fine at show lowly attended so I don't mind. 
Come if you can.
